inconsistent temperaturedifficult walk
The shower temperature was not consistent. It kept changing constantly. i could hear hallway conversations clearly. the location wasn't as convenient as i thought. Walking from the train station was difficult, and a taxi to the airport was necessary despite its proximity.
